What People Are Saying About Clear Cut Fitness

Heidi Friese - Broadway Performer

"Chris, you have opened my eyes to another world. Thank you for sharing your passion and making me stronger! I have felt an incredible difference performing in my shows since I put my training in your care. You are the real deal. I am so lucky to have connected with you!"

Anirude G

"Back in 2013, I had purchased a Fitbit Flex and set a weight goal when I first set it up. Throughout the years, I was on and off at the gym. I tried going with friends, I even tried running - and never once hit that goal. Fast forward to 2017 and in less than three months, Steve has help me crushed that goal I setup almost 4 years ago. I can’t say enough good things about Steve and Clear Cut Fitness. The man is patient, knowledgeable and highly motivated!"

Ashley Pigott - Event Planner

"Thank you Chris for all of your help in creating my Jamaica beach body! Coming off of a heavy holiday season with lots of treats and snacks, I was in need of a push to get me back on track. Already an avid fitness buff, with years and countless hours with other trainers, I was thrilled to find you! You are by far one of the best I’ve ever worked with. We reviewed my specific goals and set up a plan that worked perfectly for me and my lifestyle. In a month, I had incredible results and was motivated for more."

Paul Hornung - Investor

"I started working out with Chris after my wife bought me a few personal training sessions. Almost immediately, the 2 sessions a week began to pay off and I was making steady progress. My previous best at the deadlift was around 225lbs. In under 6 months with Chris I was deadlifting 305lbs for 5 reps. There were noticeable improvements in my posture and the corrective exercises we worked on between sets were things I had never done before, with the goal of focusing on my weak points. I would highly recommend Chris' services."

We offer an amazing small group training program where attention to detail, customized program design and cost effectiveness are the name of the game.
Our Small Group Training is, well, Small Group Training. 4 people MAX.
Why do we do this?
Because we've seen, run, and participated in group exercise before and we know the issues with it. .
❌Too many people for one coach to handle. You can actually expect ONE coach to give enough attention to each individual’s form, no matter how good they are. .
✅ We keep our small group training to a maximum of 4 people. This ensures that the coach has enough time to give individual attention, maximizing your gains by skyrocketing your exercise technique. Remember: Form Over Everything. .
❌With that many people, you can’t customize the programming for anyone. With classes from 10-30 people, do you really think everyone needs the SAME program?
Each and every person is different and although getting a generic workout in can be effective and better than nothing, it’s nowhere near optimal. .
✅ With 4 people, we’re able to adjust the program to your needs. One person might be totally fine barbell squatting ass to grass, while another person might be better off with a Goblet squat with only half the range of motion. We’re able to find the best variation for YOU. .
❌ Equipment. Similar to the point above, lack of equipment seems to be a limiting factor in large group classes.
With 30 people, most classes can only provide body weight or and abundance of light dumbbells and resistance bands (we love bands too btw).
This limits an individual’s potential to gain strength and thus making it more difficult to reach their health and fitness goals. .
✅ Equipment. There’s no lack of equipment to produce optimal results. Everyone has access to a power rack, barbell, full dumbbell rack, resistance bands, and more fun toys (like our sled ;)). If you want optimal results in a positive group atmosphere, hit us up @ cd@clearcut-fitness.com or slide into our DM.
.
Our Monday, Tuesday and Thursday classes are sold out but we will be opening more time slots due to high demand!

🍎 Workout nutrition isn't the same for everyone. Different goals means different meals for different people.
.
Clear Cut Fitness is all about individuality so we can’t give you an end all be all answer. But, we will give you a few scenarios in which you should eat different things based off your goals. There are many different methods when it comes to nutrition, but we’re about to show you the most simple, science-backed methods that we’ve been using successfully with our clients for years. 🏋🏻‍♀️
.
We’re breaking what to eat before a workout into a 2 part series #ontheblog with the #linkinbio! ✌️

Single leg deadlifts might be the most important exercise you’re not doing.
.
There are TONS of great single leg exercises out there but these guys are different.
.
Most other #singleleg exercises like lunges, split squats, etc are knee dominant. The hip hinge is one of the most important movement patterns you can do so why not train it with a single leg variation too?
.
I think the main reason people don’t is because it’s actually pretty hard to get at first. It requires lots of balance, coordination and core control. 🍎 .
Here’s the Dumbbell Single Leg Deadlift
.
Ensure that your hinging more at your hips and not from your knees (you want a slight bent in the knees but don’t let them reach 90deg angle)
Maintain a braced core to resist torso rotation. Due to the single leg nature, your body will want to twist and rotate to accommodate that side. DON’T LET IT. Use your core for what it’s made for, stay tight, don’t let your hips lean or rotate.
Feel the tension in the hamstrings as you move through the eccentric (way down), then squeeze against that stretch to come back up.

HANDS ON COACHING 🙌
Coaching is an art and a science. It's more than just counting reps, yelling overdone motivational quotes, and drill Sargeant attitudes.
Being a great coach requires more than just knowledge of exercise science (and trust me, do we ever love some exercise science 🔬
It's knowing the science of how people learn, becoming proficient in different coaching methods (auditory, visual, kinesthetic) and being a creative artist with the ability to read thr client and know when to apply each method.
A great coach will find out their clients learning style and dig deep to learn what motivates them.
Is it painting a mental picture of how they will look and feel when they hit their goal?
Or is it providing them with the tools and the confidence to carry out each workout consistently?
Passion and Experience are two HUGE aspects of coaching and it could make all the difference.
@clearcutfitness we take the time to find your optimal individual learning style.

“I’ve never been in better shape since I went low fat everything”. “It doesn’t matter, you can eat WHATEVER YOU WANT WHENEVER YOU WANT WITH IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros)! I ate ice cream for dinner and I’m 6% body fat.” Some of these general rules may be applicable in specific situations, but they’re certainly not for everyone all the time.
So what’s the best diet for fat loss? Head on over to the blog from the #linkinbio because we’re gonna make it reallllll easy for you.
